What happened to Susan Atkins’s son?

In 1968 Susan Atkins had a son named Zezozose Zadfrack Glutz. At the time she was a member of the Manson Family, living on Spahn Ranch near Los Angeles. Charles Manson was not believed to be the baby’s father. In 1971 Atkins was convicted in connection with the Tate-LaBianca murders and placed on death row. Because no family member would take her son in, the state put him up for adoption. Atkins had no subsequent contact with him and was unaware of his whereabouts.
